My dd is moving on from elementary school after this year, and will no longer be riding a bus. She has had the same bus driver for 5 years. Before that, he was my ds's bus driver. With a decade of hauling my kids around coming to an end, I was thinking we should get the bus driver something by way of a thank you.
If it makes a difference he is actually one of the family owners of the bus company and is also the father of one of dd's friends.
i don't know what we should get him and was hoping you all would have ideas.

You can't go wrong with a heart felt note and a gift card. So sweet of you to appreciate the under appreciated bus drivers!

I have my kindergarten bus driver a carton of cigarettes for Christmas. He smoked while he drove. Oh, the 70's. Lol!
I am thinking that won't work, so a gift card would be nice.

Oh, yes, i remember my bus driver smoking every morning in the bus. As for the gift card, perhaps a local restaurant or business? |

We always do a Starbucks g/c for the bus driver.

When we had a male driver we gifted him golf tees, a hat & subscription to a golf magazine.
For female drivers I've gifted flowers, Vera Bradley hipster bags, Vera Bradley wristlets, Thirty-One thermal bags.

I give a nice thank you card and gift card to Target. I prefer ti give a Starbucks card but many people dont like Starbucks so since most Targets have a Starbucks my gift giving bases are covered.

We have done gift cards to Target, Starbucks and DD in the past. Oh, and a gift card to a local and very popular ice cream place. Always with a heartfelt thank you for their hard work.
